Daniel Andrews: “Victoria will accept full responsibility for the families brought to Australia from Nauru."

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has written a powerful letter to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull offering his state to accommodate and “accept full responsibility” of the families and children brought to Australian from Nauru.

“Instead, I write to inform you that Victoria will accept full responsibility for all of these children and their families, including the provision of housing, health, education and welfare services. I want these children and their families to call Victoria home.”

Mr Andrews has said that returning asylum seekers to Nauru would be returning them to a life of trauma.

The Victorian Premier’s strong stance has certainly won him a lot of support from the community.
